Re: [Flexradio] Juan - K4LCD - a con man
Con-Man is probably a stretch, older man looking to upgrade his station in order to play with the latest and greatest before being called home is probably much closer to reality. 73, Mike W5CUL --- On Fri, 7/24/09, Michael Jones mi...@scsitoolbox.com wrote: From: Michael Jones mi...@scsitoolbox.com Subject: [Flexradio] Juan - K4LCD - a con man To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Date: Friday, July 24, 2009, 9:18 AM After seeing the generosity shown by many members of this forum, when I saw this post to the K3 forum this morning - well I guess all I can say is that I am shocked.

Re: [Flexradio] Juan - K4LCD - a con man
Mike, Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It is anyone's prerogative to own any type of radio they please. The K3 is a good radio. I know Juan. I have sold him hardware in the past. He did not directly solicit any funds for a FLEX-500;, he just wanted to get one cheap - 2nd hand. You can't fault someone for trying to maximize the value of a dollar in this economy. All of the people who volunteered to help him out (including me) our offers of money were turned down. Instead he directed us to donate to a charity in Miami for Cuban refugee children. He isn't a con man. Just very frugal. -Tim --- W4TME FlexRadio Systems - Info Management Admin.

Re: [Flexradio] Juan - K4LCD - a con man
He says he's got a Flex 1000. It's not like he doesn't have a way to get on the air and enjoy his hobby. I just upgraded my shack from an old Yaesu 817 to a Flex 3000. By doing the normal method of scrimping and saving. I wasn't aware that posting to every ham forum until I get contributions was an acceptable method for upgrading. I see the ads in QST where you can contribute old ham gear that will get distributed to people who have NO rig. This seems to make sense to me - help get a new ham with no radio on the air. But an upgrade - just cuz there is something new available? Come on.

Guy, I emailed Juan a couple of times, and both times he turned down my offer to help out and everyone else that offer to help. He flat out said that, when if found the right deal, he would purchase it, and did not want any help, and plainly said if I wanted to donate to something, donate to a children group that could really use the help.
